It’s no exaggeration to say that even the sight of needles unnerves me. I break out into a cold sweat just looking at them. I know it’s all in the mind and I’d love to become a blood donor because it’s a good thing to do, but I’d have to overcome my fear first. I know it’s all in the mind and completely irrational—but phobias aren’t rational.

learn hindi

...So I can understand it conversationally 11 months ago

Bit of a strange one, this. I don’t look like the sort of person who you’d ever associate with an Indian language. And yet I love Bollywood films. When King Khan is making his big emotional speech, it’d be so nice to understand what he’s saying without recourse to the subtitles.

have my own flat

It's beyond my budget at the moment. 11 months ago

I’ve lived for years in shared houses. It’s cheap but I’d like to have a place of my own. I imagine how nice it’d be not to have to share a kitchen.
